myPushop is a tool that allow you to create an app for your business.
myPushop is a very effective tool to improve you customer redemption and your relationships with the everyday clients of yours. It is dedicated to small, local businesses, which can create their own virtual shop and put it at their customers' disposal through a mobile application.
Why is it so effective? Simply because it provides you with a large number of tools designed to answer the specific needs of your business: for example, if you own a restaurant, you can make your tables and menu available for reservations and bookings; if you are a beauty centre manager, your customers will be able to select their favourite treatment and reserve them as well; moreover, if you are a fashion retailer, you will be able to organise a virtual showcase that will put all the products and promotions of yours in evidence.
But it is not over yet: we could go on with many other examples. In order to discover all the tools myPushop is offering you, please visit our functionalities sections.
To start with the creation of your own app you can make your subscription in this page. You can choose the solution that best fit your needs and launch your myPushop app within few minutes. Then, it is all up to you: make your customers download you app and experiment all the new opportunities you get. If you require assistance in any step of the process, you can contact our Customer Care Service via e-mail on firstname.lastname@example.com.
myPushop is a system that fits every type of business and therefore provides you with many different solutions. Since we want to give each of you exactly what you need, we will contact you to know your needs and then offer you free advice and advice that will help you understand what we can do for your business and the best solution it suits you.
Absolutely not: Your references will not be shared with anyone. We will only use them by myPushop and exclusively to define and organize free counseling. We use the phone simply because it is the quickest and most direct communication we have.
Like any quality tool, myPushop also has a price.
The share to use myPushop is a small investment we thought to be accessible to all local businesses, including the smallest ones. Our mission is to help neighborhood stores and professionals succeed. We know how companies like you need these tools today and want to make sure everyone can access it, regardless of the availability or size of the store.
Think about it for a moment: how much does it cost you not to have this type of tool available today?
Of course you can! We are plenty of material you can consult – video tutorials, digital brochures and so on. You can request any of them by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once more, of course you can: we thought you might appreciate a 15 days trial period, during which you can understand how myPushop works and realise if it suits the needs of your business. Within this timespan, if you decide not to continue using our services, we'll refund you back with the 100% of your investment. The terms of this money back guarantee are really transparent and you can ask us anytime about them, sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can keep using all the tools you currently own while you integrate the ones you miss thanks to myPushop. For example, you can promote your virtual showcase through your website or Facebook page and make them work simultaneously.
myPushop is designed not to interfere with other business tools and actually to improve their effectiveness, because its main purpose is to increase your customer retention.
According to our information, there is currently no tool that can be considered as complete as myPushop, but only services that carry out some, or just one, of its various functionalities (coupon platforms, geolocation services, loyalty cards organising systems and so on).
This means that, up to now, you have only tried incomplete services, whose effectiveness is necessarily limited. For example, if you used to generate coupons on a dedicated website, you did not have the opportunity to turn users into loyal customers: it is due to the fact that the website you were using did not offer you that opportunity. It is a trait that only myPushop actually owns.
Every different kind of business (shops, restaurants, beauty salons and so on) has focused tools that have been designed to suit the specific needs of its sector. To us, giving local businesses what they exactly need is very important, so we decided to dedicate an entire part of our website to this subject: you can check it out here.
Absolutely no, because of two reasons.
The first one is that myPushop has been provided with a simple, intuitive interface: this way, the management of the various shop areas are suitable for all. You will only need an internet connection and a device (computer, tablet or smartphone) and you will be able to get access to all your functions very quickly.
The second one is our Customer Care Service. Will you ever be in need of help, our highly-skilled staff will guide you. You will also receive information and useful advices about the best strategies to grow your business.

What's the upside to an unique distributorship? In the mid-Nineteen Fifties, the brother of my grandmother's third husband was co-owner of a small car repair garage in Brookline, Massachusetts, when he agreed to import a funny-looking new small automotive into New England. It was called the Volkswagen, and he retained exclusive regional distribution rights for decades to return, making a lot of money in the course of.
Another enormous problem within the rental enterprise could be cyclicality. When the business is booming, it may be great. When the financial system turns, it can be a disaster. I know a highly experienced development tools operator who could not pay his bills and practically went under during the last financial downturn. Eventually, nevertheless, he survived and became massively profitable. Another good friend did very nicely renting out Dumpsters within the development business although he had no expertise in any way when he began.
If you are thinking about opening a wholesale business, suppose twice! Although it's typically straightforward and quick to have the ability to attain a excessive stage of sales in this business, you will discover it loads more durable to earn a decent profit margin or maybe even keep afloat at all. Most wholesale companies function on very thin profit margins that are possible only due to extremely subtle and environment friendly operating procedures, tight credit and collections control, and most of all, a big quantity of gross sales over which to unfold overhead.

For over two decades, ultramarine blue has played an important role in the abstract works of Katsuyoshi Inokuma. The artist subtly modulates the color by laying down contrasting hues underneath or by mixing coffee grounds in to add texture. As with many of his works, In Blue Jul '16 features a composition that is dynamic and vibrating, yet quiet and controlled. The result is a deeply moving, expansive field that radiates off the canvas. Inokuma has exhibited his work throughout Japan.

Leading commercial real estate lenders expect loan volume in 2015 to top 2014, driven by refinancing of maturing debt and strong market fundamentals.
In the near term, however, Congress' failure to extend the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act beyond Dec. 31, 2014 could chill transactions, according to a survey of Commercial Real Estate Finance Council members released on Monday. TRIA provides a federal backstop against potential losses from terrorist attacks.
Respondents expect issuance of commercial mortgage-backed securities to be in the range of $100 billion to $125 billion this year, with the largest increase seen in floating rate conduits and the majority of issuance concentrated in fixed-rate conduits.
Almost all respondents expect an increase in lending by banks and life insurance companies, collectively known as balance sheet lenders, with loan terms the same for most organizations and the concentration of new loans in the multifamily and office sectors.
Origination by government-sponsored enterprises is expected to remain about the same as 2014. However, there is concern in the credit quality of multifamily loans and the likelihood for oversupply in major markets.
While 74% of survey respondents expect benchmark interest rates to rise in 2015, in contrast to last year market participants are not as worried about interest rate increases as they are confident in the Federal Reserve's ability to manage any increases in a thoughtful manner.
Overall liquidity is expected to stay the same or expand in 2015; 47% of respondents believe there will be more liquidity available in the marketplace, while 38% predicting similar availability from 2014.
Underwriting is predicted to be more aggressive based on higher valuations and higher leverage, with potentially somewhat lower credit quality.
On the lender side, demand drivers include the potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns and fundamentally sound real estate market conditions. On the borrower side, demand drivers include the low cost of financing, economically justifiable real estate market activity including some new development, and the continuing wave of maturing CMBS.
"Industry participants see another year of positive growth for commercial real estate debt markets as ample capital and credit should be available to meet borrower demand and pending loan maturities," Stephen M. Renna, president and chief executive of the CRE Finance Council said in a press release. "This is buoyed by stronger overall economic growth and a trend of improving property fundamentals. However, for growth to be sustained it is critical that the industry demonstrate underwriting discipline in the face of abundant capital and heightened competition."
The CRE Finance Council represents conduit lenders, investors and servicers of commercial mortgage-backed securities, bank and life insurance company lenders, private equity lenders and investors, and government-sponsored enterprise lenders. Seventy-seven companies participated in the latest survey.

Date: 26/2/2014
POS is grateful for the opportunity to respond to the Department for Transport (DfT)'s consultation on the 'Draft National Policy Statement for National Networks (NN NPS). The National Networks comprise the Strategic Road Network (SRN) under the control of the Highways Agency (HA), the national rail network, and strategic rail freight interchanges. Our comments are restricted to the NN NPS as it relates to the road network.
General comment:
As officers of local planning authorities, the principal interest of the vast majority of POS membership is the impact of NPS NN on road transport and on the entirety of Britain's road network, particularly the 98% that is not under the control of the HA. Although a third of all road traffic is carried by the SRN, almost all of these journeys begin and end on local roads, under the control of the local highway authority. We therefore do not think it sensible to devise a NN NPS that does not include strategies for the 98% of the network outwith HA control.
The traffic forecasts quoted, produced using the National Transport Model, indicate that road traffic on English roads will increase by 42% between 2010 and 2040. On the strategic road network, road traffic is forecast to grow by 46% over the same period. The outcome of this increase will be exponential increase in congestion which will impact most severely on the SRN. The NN NPS says that alternative approaches such as demand management and modal shift will be ineffectual in dealing with the forecast traffic increase and that the Government's response will be to increase capacity on the SRN, which will include new road alignments and links.
We are sceptical of the underlying forecasts that Government policy is predicated on and concerned that the approach outlined will disproportionately focus investment on the SRN. This effectively amounts to a return to "predict and provide"; the traffic generation effects of which have been well documented. The outcome will be to increase pressure on local roads whilst effectively starving local highway authorities of funds.
Increase in the strategic road capacity, without also adequately investing in methods to reduce travel demand, will make the most congested places worse, fail to deliver on the Government's strategic objectives for the national networks, ultimately causing harm rather than benefit to the economy and failing to reduce carbon emissions from road transport. We would therefore urge a complete review of Government policy in respect of the NN NPS.

Imagine what it would be like to have Ezekiel's vision, set down in the middle of a valley filled with dry bones. You can close your eyes and picture it, imagining the sight of those bones and the sound of the wind, but there's no way we can imagine what Ezekiel might have felt without knowing a little bit about him. It was a really bad time for guys like Ezekiel, and I do mean guys. If you've read that whole book of the Bible, you'll notice a really male perspective of lost honor and displacement: those who held the power, the educated, economically advantaged and elite of Judah were exiled when Jerusalem fell in the sixth century before the common era. When the Babylonians occupied Jerusalem, Ezekiel was one of those elite—a priest, in fact, who was sent into exile. There was no sense that Israel would ever be restored, and Ezekiel, had no power, no job and no respect. God did not call him by his name, addressing him simply as "Mortal."
Would he have felt the ghosts of the once living all around him? Would he have begun to feel dried up like the bones? Would he have felt the despair of Judah through his own layer of hopelessness? Did he share that feeling of "being cut off completely?"
Last year, I was doing some field research in the badlands region of eastern Alberta, Canada in a beautiful and desolate place called Dinosaur Provincial Park. As I walked through what are now canyons cut into what used to be the subtropical coastal plain of an inland sea tens of millions of years ago, everywhere I looked there were the bones of beings that once roamed the earth. As I looked at these bones, I could feel ginormous hadrosaurs lumbering along in the forest. I imagined that if I looked up, I'd see pterodactyls soaring overhead. In the midst of these 75 million year old bones, I felt like I was treading upon sacred ground, and was mindful about where to put down my feet. When I knelt down and touched the bones I knew without doubt that this was Holy ground indeed. I heard a voice inside my heart say: "it's all holy ground."
It wasn't the bones themselves speaking to me. As I interacted with the landscape, the Holy Spirit blew in from all directions, and emerged from my relationship with those dry bones and sensibly breathed life into them. Oh, not physically as a viable prosaurolophus, but they were nevertheless transformed for me. I was awed by their significance to matters of life and death. Those dinosaurs came alive for me because the Holy Spirit used my relationship with them to awaken something in me… the realization of how transient our time is on this amazing, yet fragile Earth—our island home, as the Eucharistic prayer reads.
In those moments when I've encountered what feels like pure holiness, like that day in Dinosaur Park, it feels like time is suspended—like I'm momentarily floating in eternity. And I start to get a little confused about life and death. Because, in a timeless moment, boundaries get fuzzy. Oh, I do get it that those dinosaurs are done, and they are not coming back, but in my dialog with the landscape and the bones and the Holy Spirit on at least that one occasion, the air was spinning around in my head as the winds blew in from every direction. And what had been dried up, finished and lifeless DID come to life for me. It's a similar thing when you're engaged in the act of creating a work of art. You might have a block or a dry spell when you're working on a drawing or a story or a piece of music. Sometimes if you just noodle around and interact with the medium, the art comes alive. This kind of thing happens in all kinds of relationships—not just between artist and medium or scientist and dinosaur bones, but also between people, places and things—all of the bits of God's creation—because God IS the medium in which all of these things reside.
Relationship is the structural framework in which God becomes visible. Even in the nature of God's own self: the Holy Trinity is pure relationship! For Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, life was the consequence of the relationship between the bones, the prophet, the Spirit and the master architect! When the bones assembled, it was because Ezekiel interacted with them and prophesied as God commanded. They had just lain there in their absolutely desiccated state, no hope for restoration. God could have made them spontaneously assemble, simultaneously breathing life into them, but instead, brought Ezekiel into the process, instructing him to say: "Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord."
And that's when the parts all came together—sinews and flesh, complete with skin! But just because the hipbone was connected to the thighbone—they weren't people yet. They were still sort of like mannequins. So once again God gave Ezekiel a role in the process, commanding him to prophecy once again—this time, not to the bones, but to the breath—to the Spirit that makes us come alive. So Ezekiel did as he was told, and BAM! They stood on their feet—the whole house of Israel filling the valley before him! Do you see what happened here?
Ezekiel, the former priest, thrown out of Jerusalem at the time Jerusalem fell was living in exile. Neither he nor his people— had any hope— they were conquered and scattered. He was given no special treatment or respect, yet in his vision, when God set him in that valley, bones as far as the eye could see, he was called into active participation in the restoration of hope. God commanded him to prophecy both to the bones and to the breath. God called him into a relationship with those bones and Spirit (or breath), because God emerges—is made visible in relationship, bringing life to all the participants in that relationship. God spoke to that mortal and restored his hope and the hope of the people. To those whose bones were dried up, whose hope was lost, God said through just a mere mortal, "I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live."
We are all of us dry bones, when we feel isolated, marginalized or maybe even without hope. But we reside in the medium of an unfathomably amazing God, who wants to interact with us, speaking through us, one mortal to another, saying, "I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live." Maybe you are the person who has lost hope and feels cut off. And maybe you're the mortal who God has called to restore that person's hope. We bring each other back to life with the agency that our Creator gives us. It doesn't matter which one we are, because like Ezekiel and the nation of Israel, both will have their hope restored and come back to life. Because it's the fact that we are in dialog, in relationship, that's important. If God has promised mercy to any of one of the beloved children who feels their bones have dried up and that hope is gone, and if that same God should call upon you or me to speak up so that hope and life can be restored to someone else's dry bones, then who are we to break God's promise?"

Washington (ANI): Will Smith has finally admitted that he has studied Scientology through pal Tom Cruise. The revelation comes even as rumours have been swirling that Smith and his wife Jade Pinkett-Smith will soon be becoming members of the controversial church.
However, Smith insists that Scientology is not the only religion he has made a through study of, for he"s also looked into Buddhism and Hinduism. "I've studied Buddhism and Hinduism, and I've studied Scientology through Tom [Cruise]," Usmagazine.com quoted him, as telling Men's Vogue.
The 39 year old actor who was raised Baptist, says ninety-eight percent of the principles in Scientology are identical to the principles of the Bible. "Ninety-eight percent of the principles [in Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible . . . . I don't think that because the word someone uses for spirit is 'thetan' that the definition becomes any different." Smith added.
A source revealed that Jada is also really in to Cruise"s religion. "She's more gung-ho about Scientology than Will," the source said. Scientology is the body of religious beliefs and related practices, which covers topics such as morals, ethics, detoxification, education and management.

Hungry Like The Wolf!
Red Riding Hood (2011) Director: Catherine Hardwicke Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Julie Christie Rating: PG-13 for scary wolves and violence
Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale. For all the youngsters out there, fairy tales were stories parents read to entertain their children before TV, video games and other cool stuff came along to do that for them. Because Hollywood ran out of original ideas many years ago (I don't remember the exact date when this happened, but I know it was a Tuesday) the movie guys have decided to remake fairy tales into big budget films, because if it's one thing the movie going public wants to see is a movie based on a story they heard hundreds of times and grew to despise as kids.
Red Riding Hood is the first of these re-imagined fairy tales to hit the multiplex. Stepping into the red hood is Amanda Seyfried, a sexy ingénue whose tiny body and big head makes her look like a Bratz doll minus the whorish eye makeup and street cred.
Seyfried plays Valerie, a fair maiden living in the Eastern European village of Daggerhorn, which is located somewhere deep in the snow covered soundstages of Vancouver.
Valerie loves a local woodsman Peter (a wooden Shiloh Fernandez) but her parents have already set her up to marry Henry, (a woodener Max Irons) the wealthy blacksmith's son, because in this village marrying a blacksmith is like bagging someone from the family that owns Walmart. Ka-ching! Major coinage!
Complicating this medieval love triangle is a giant werewolf who visits the village every now and then to chow down on livestock and any stray human caught hanging around outside after midnight, which I'm sure will greatly affect the business of Daggerhorn's 24 hour mini mart when such an establishment is invented.
Things go from bad to worse when werewolf hunting priest Father Solomon (Gary Oldman) arrives with his heavily armed entourage determined to kill the beast and make Daggerhorn safe so the villagers can continue pumping money into the extremely lucrative blacksmithing industry.
When Valerie encounters the werewolf during an attack on the village, she learns that she and the wolf can talk to each other, which convinces Father Solomon she is a witch and must be sacrificed to the wolf, and that thrills the heck out of the local girls who have been waiting for years for the perfect excuse to whack the hottest chick in medieval Eastern Europe.
Can our blonde heroine deduce the identity of the giant brown eyed talking wolf (is it the brown eyed village minster? her brown eyed father? her brown eyed grandmother? everyone else in the village except her, since she's the only weirdo in town without brown eyes) before her two hunky suitors and everyone else she knows becomes a midnight snack? And more importantly, how does she keep her red cloak completely smudge free while everyone else looks like they work in a coal mine?
Unfortunately, director Catherine Hardwicke does an excellent job keeping the excitement to a bare minimum and the suspense at the same level you experience while waiting in front of the microwave for your Lean Cuisine to heat up. By the way, you have got to try the Chicken Poblano from their Market Collection. It's heaven in a microwavable pouch.
To sum up, while I believe someone should tell Gary Oldman he can say no to a project every now and then, I give him credit for being the only cast member in Red Riding Hood – a film set in Eastern Europe by the way – to attempt some kind of Eastern European accent. Kudos to you Gary for trying to make lemonade with this 100 minute lemon.

One of the most popular sessions at the Americas Lodging and Investment Summit held last week in at JW Marriott & Nokia Theatre L.A. Live was the boutique/lifestyle panel. And it's not surprising. 2014 was the year of the lifestyle brand—a much-coveted boutique-like concept developed by the big brands that sometimes get criticized for being too cookie-cutter.
The panel included John Vanderslice, global head, luxury and lifestyle brands, Hilton Worldwide; Mike Muir, vice president of North American development, Best Western International; Allison Reid, senior vice president, Starwood Hotels & Resorts; Niki Leondakis, CEO, Commune Hotels + Resorts; and Paul Scialla, founder and CEO, Delos. They had the difficult task of confronting the many questions that come with being the segment of the moment. I've broken down some key points to create a helpful primer of what you need to know about this boutique/lifestyle segment, from the brands' point of view.
Why would a brand get into the boutique segment?
Muir from Best Western was forthcoming with his answer, especially with the launch of the company's own lifestyle brand. Vīb was announced a few months ago in October and boutique is now 10 percent of the upper-midscale brand's pipeline. "Best Western is in the boutique business because there's demand," he said. "We're in a good place for it."
What happens if everyone says they offer a boutique experience? Does boutique lose it's meaning?
The short answer: Yes, kind of. Leondakis tackled this head on. "When you think of a boutique—why you choose a boutique store over a chain—you choose it because there's a definite point of view. It's carefully selected. It's thoughtful. It's all leading to an overall lifestyle or attitude. And when you say boutique and make it formulaic, then it's no longer that, but we call all hotels in this segment that. The biggest problem is confusion."
Does design still matter to boutique hotels?
Boutique hotels are all about cool design but that's just a baseline, says Leondakis. "True boutique has layers and layers of experiential aspects that unfold during the guest's stay that create an emotional response." The most boutique thing a boutique hotel can do is offer a personalized customer service experience.
Localization is also key, says Reid. "That's the trend we all see and acknowledge." Customers love design that plays off its location. "It's unique and relevant," she says.
Aren't these new brands created just to serve Millennials anyway?
"It's not about Millennials," Leonadkis says. "It's more about the attitudes," and Millennials have attitudes that cross generations.
OK, good, so that's it with Millennials.
Not really. Millennials also have made social media relevant. "Everyone knows what they want because they tell us over and over again," says Reid. Millennials want to share things, they're global travelers, and they are changing the industry by making things happen in quicker timeframe.
Be honest, will this lifestyle trend ever end?
It's not going anywhere for awhile. The demand and interest is there. "It's a great time to be in this segment," says Muir.

From Politico:
In a fluid race where there's no consensus frontrunner and even the eventual size of the presidential field is up in the air, there's one thing that most Republicans can agree on: In Iowa at least, Scott Walker is the man to beat.
If there were any remaining doubts, they were erased Saturday at the "Roast and Ride," a motorcycle-and-barbecue themed cattle call hosted by the state's freshman senator, Republican Joni Ernst. At an event that drew seven of the party's presidential hopefuls, it was the Wisconsin governor who ended up playing the starring role.
With his Iowa roots, plainspoken style, and familiarity as the governor of the next state over, Walker is generating grassroots buzz, lofty expectations and a lead in the polls that has Iowa power-brokers and political operatives pointing to him as the early favorite in the first-in-the-nation caucuses next February.

Looking to honor the slain civil rights leader today? Here's a handful of events going on around the city celebrating King's legacy and carrying on his fight for justice. If you're looking for a last minute service project, you can participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service by finding a local one here.
Communities United Against Eviction is canvassing Chicago neighborhoods, helping people to fight evictions and foreclosures. The group will train volunteers beginning at 10 a.m. at the Sankofa Fight Back Center for Human Rights at 401 E. 75th St. Afterward, volunteers will head out to different communities to talk to homeowners about their options if they face foreclosure.
March for Moratorium on Deportations: Starting at Daley Plaza at 50 W. Washington St. at 11 a.m., Chicago's immigrant community will march to call for a moratorium on deportations. Speakers will include family members of those in detention, clergy and leaders in the immigrant rights community.
Chicago Sinfonetta's Annual Tribute to MLK: The Chicago Sinfonetta will perform at Symphony Center at 7:30 p.m. for its annual tribute to King, featuring a performance of "The Oak" by Florence Price, a black female classical composer.
Volunteers transform Lafayette elementary: Over 500 volunteers from City Year Chicago and the local community will come together Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to do improvement projects at Lafayette Elementary at 2714 W. Augusta Blvd., including work on the murals, painting and construction projects.
"Nothing without a Demand": A day-long celebration will begin at the DuSable Museum of African American History with a live screening of President Barack Obama's inauguration. After that, the museum's galleries will feature live actors representing historic black heroes, including Ida B. Wells, Elijah J. McCoy, Jean Baptise Pointe and DuSable's wife, Kittihawa, as part of the new "Walking with Heroes" initiative.
The Power of Words: The Chicago History Museum will commemorate King with a family-friendly and free event that incorporates spoken word, performance, and craft activities. There will also be a live broadcast of the inauguration as well as a performance by the Writer's Theatre's one woman show, "The MLK Project" and a reenactment of King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The event is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
What does it mean, Dr. King? The Chicago Children's Museum will host four performances for children with interactive song and dance explaining the Civil Rights Movement and its relevance today at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m..

Why does their "caring" sound so much like a cross between pandering and fascism?
"Ethnic registration for Roma", headlines De Volkskrant. Social democratic mayor Cor de Vos of Nieuwegein, a town in the central Holland, says that councils with the largest Roma populations should keep an ethnic register of the community. "We are dealing with a group of people which is not integrated in Dutch society," he declared.If that's the case, why don't they "register" gays and anyone who might haver ever practiced Islam?
"They need to be helped, for their own sake and that of their neighbourhood. But we can't do that without knowing their situation." Last Wednesday it was revealed that the city council of Ede has been holding police, child welfare and justice department files on the Roma since 1978. The council apologised but also said: "The law isn't in step with the issues.And of course that was bad, and wrong. Sooooo in the interest of "caring", there will be a lot more of it.
What next? Tattoos to show you "care"?

BSP8R, Private Dipstick
The passive-aggressive "pacifist"left has lost its' hobgoblin and its' imaginary foil: the German CDU-led government has decided to end conscription and rely on a an all-volunteer force. Not only does thin out the ranks of the thoughtless buffoons that a soldier in harm's way need no longer depend on with his life, takes the Mickey out of the endless blathering rhetoric of the German far left's argument that "our children" (whom they can't seem to stop hating,) are cannon fodder for whatever war that comes along.
While compulsory service will be abolished, the alternative Berlin daily wonders aloud if this is truly "a triumph for the pacifist left". Its answer is a firm nein: "On the contrary, when Germany is called on to take part in a war more than 1,000 km away, (the army) doesn't need a horde of fresh recruits, but rather teams of specialists in security and modern weaponry".Funny that with all the "hey, I play fist-person-shooter games too" talk of robocops with sooper-dooper death ray weapons, that they can't even imagine what the social dynamics of an all-volunteer force are.
Never mind the fact that their deployments since 1945 have been limited to police duty in the former Yugoslavia and Afghanistan, unless you count the DDR's "advisors" to the Sandinistas and to South Yemen.
For two generations, the only group of people that have benefitted more from the spilling of other people's blood and treasure have been Kim Jong Il's cronies, and Swiss bankers. It's time that the war-obsessed anti-defense suicide cult in Germany did the halts Maul! and get real for once.
In the mean time, Die Welt reports that:
"The nostalgic invocation of the usefulness of conscription could no longer stand up to the facts: When fewer than 7,000 out of a total of 250,000 soldiers are available for missions abroad; when just 14 percent of young men are drafted; when even the majority within the military itself supports reform -- in such a case, renewal is unavoidable."(Translation by Spiegel Online.) The protesting types are angry armies even exist, so it comes as no surprise that they wouldn't "support the (conscription of) troops" so long as they remain in an ineffectual state. Some Conservatives, on the other hand, have always seen it as a means toward social cohesion, and to keep otherwise feral youts under control long enough for them to get a grip on their warm and charming personalities. Either way, they cannot afford it, or are unwilling to go on as they have in an embarrassingly low state of readiness.

Bombardier Resumes Test Flights
Bombardier released video of the first CSeries flight test vehicle (FTV1) flying yesterday. The flight follows the completion of engine and ground runs as well as the structural repairs to the aircraft needed after an engine-related incident on May 29 at Bombardier's Mirabel facility.
Robert Dewar, Vice President, CSeries Aircraft Program at Bombardier said, "It was thrilling to see yet another FTV take flight and resume its place in the flight test program. We are making great progress with the CSeries aircraft program accumulating an impressive number of flight hours in a short period of time. In consideration of all the ground and flight testing completed since early September 2014, we remain on track to meeting our schedule for the year."
This is the third CSeries Test Flight Vehicle to re-join the flight test program. FTV2 and FTV4 resumed flight testing in September while FTV4 is now at the Bombardier facility in Wichita, Kansas with FTV3.
In the second video watch Telemetry Data Operator Adam Macwilliam explain the complete and complexe procedure of telemetry at Bombardier's Flight Test Center in Mirabel.

One day Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and a group of his followers were passing by a place. They saw an old woman working with her spinning wheel.
Prophet Muhammad went up to her. After saying 'Salam Alaikum,' (Islamic greeting which means Peace be with you) and asking her how she was feeling, he asked her, 'How did you come to believe in Allah?'
The old woman let her spinning wheel stop. She thought for a while, then replied, 'Do you see this small wheel? It does not spin unless I move it. How could it be possible for a universe this big to spin by itself?
Who changes the night into day? Who changes the four seasons? There must be someone doing all these things.
The One who preserves and controls the whole universe is Allah who is All-Knowing and Almighty.'
Prophet Muhammad turned to his followers and said, 'Consider how this old woman has come to know of the existence of Allah. You, also, should have as strong a belief in Allah as this old lady.'

Where we hoped to make up for two bad Stationery quarters with the back-to-school period, it didn't achieve its goal.
We ended Q3 with a decline of 6.6% in volume and 4.6% in value, where the back-to-school period (Q3) decreased by 8.5% in volume and 6.5% in value. September was the cause of these bad results during the most important 3 months for Stationery. July and August did better than last year within the B2C-channel.
Colouring pencils suffered the most after the extremely good year 2015, due to the colouring hype together with the colouring books. The Color Felt Pens were able to find some growth at a few important retailers and also the Crayons did a good job by releasing new products.
Within the writing category especially the Graphite Pencils did manage to grow during Q3, due to the rising popularity of sets where brands are offering their pencils together with a free eraser and/or pencil sharpener.
We noticed that the 'Beginners Range' products are becoming more popular, especially during the back-to-school period, where manufacturers are offering their writing products, specifically aimed at children who are starting to write. They developed products that make it easier to learn where to place their fingers.
Stationery data will probably end up negative this year, after a positive 2014 and very positive 2015.

For my 29 by 29 list, #12 is to interview a series of interesting people for my blog, and I think it's time I start that off with... me :) I've emailed a few of my most loyal blog readers and commenters, so those are coming. In the meantime, I'd LOVE for a few others to fill out the questions below! If you're interested, simply email me the answers to the questions below (to theyearofthekate @ gmail.com)!
Here goes nothin':
1) What is your name, and who are you?
My name is Kate and I am a twenty-something living and working in Chicago. I grew up in Iowa, and take every chance I get to go back to my favorite state. I am a college graduate, who in college did more learning outside than inside a classroom. I am a wife who feels too young to have that title, yet is thrilled to have a husband as generous and supportive as Scott. I am an older sister to four beloved brothers, and a daughter to parents who really get me. I am a cousinfriend to cousins who are more like sisters. I am a friend to many and a close friend to few. I am an avid reader, a reluctant runner, an impatient cook, a wine aficionado and guacamole connoisseur.
2) How do you know Kate?
One in the same :)
3) Tell me about a typical day in your life.
Scott's alarm is the first thing I hear in a morning. He wakes up around 6:10, and I fake sleep until my alarm goes off at 6:40. I turn on the Today Show, take a shower and get ready while watching the (listening to really) morning news. I leave my house between 7:30 and 8 depending on the day, and usually get to work no later than 8:30. I work until 6 or 6:30, and come home. I work out four days a week (ok, that's a good week... it's sometimes three times) and that means running anywhere from 1-4 miles on the treadmill with a little free-weight action. Either Scott makes dinner or I make myself something quick (in my defense, Scott likes sit-down-meals more than I do. I'm perfectly content with a thrown-together salad, Lean Cuisine, sandwich or microwaved veggie burger). I usually have a little work to do from home at night (emails mostly), I watch some TV, read or blog. Lights out around 11pm.
On a weekend the routine varies gloriously. Sleeping in is among my most favorite things, but I also enjoy the stress-relieving attributes of a good condo deep clean. We try to make plans with friends at least once a week, and I am also big in to day-dates (even if it's just running to Target together). On the weekends we usually take a run together (outside if we can, neighboring treadmills this time of year) and we have a few DVR'ed shows that we save up and watch together on the weekend (The Following, Homeland, Shameless).
4) What's the most challenging part of your life (could be a pet peeve, a work or family issue, whatever).
I can't think of a real answer to this right now, but I will say that it drives me crazy when people don't do what they say that they will. For example, someone (a corporation that I am working with in my personal life) told me on Sunday that they would email me my invoice by Monday. It's Thursday night, and I have yet to receive it. I hateeeeee that.
5) What are you likely to be doing at 8pm on a Saturday night?
I'm likely to be doing one of three things:
1) Be out on the town drinking cheap beer and ideally watching some game
2) Drinking red wine with friends or family at our home or theirs
3) Lounging on the couch watching DVR'ed episodes of Scandal, L&O:SVU, or Suits
6) Paint me a picture of your life in five years.
I hope to live in a city that starts with a C (Chicago, Cedar Rapids, or a wildcard like Charleston). I'd like to be a mother. I still won't have any pets or any debt besides my mortgage. I will have been to Europe at least o
7) If you could be given any gift, what would it be?
As I'm answering this I realize it's a tough question because of the way it's worded. The best gifts I have ever been given were related to my wedding (my engagment ring, the gifts my parents gave me in terms of my wedding and reception, etc etc).
Gifts I would like to be given would include the non-material like health for myself my family and friends, world peace, the gift of motherhood, etc etc.
To answer materialistically, I have my eye on a pair of tan ballet flats. :)
8) What part of your morning routine do you consider essential?
A hot shower with good shampoo/conditioner. If I do nothing else to get ready, this makes me feel better ready to conquer the day. On the weekends, I often wait until after mid-day for a shower, but as soon as I take one I feel instantly refreshed.
9) What one deceased person would you like an hour with?
Geez. This is such a tough one to answer (and I wrote the question). I simply can't choose between an hour with Mike Maloney and my Grandma Phyllis. There are many questions I'd like to ask them both, and many things I'd like to tell them. Either way, I can't imagine that an hour would be nearly enough time, but I'd love it nonetheless.
10) If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you guy and why? Have you been there before?
I have wanted to go to Paris for as long as I can remember. My brother lived there for a summer a few years ago, and I so regret not visiting him while he was there. My parents went a few years ago and loved it. Scott sometimes asks me why Paris, and I don't really have an answer. It's just calling my name. I hope to get there before I'm 30.
11) You have ten minutes to give a speech to college seniors. What do you talk about?
This is though, because I'm only about five years out. I'd probably talk about being open to new experiences and new people. I'd talk about how you should work hard and live cheaply and save and travel. And if there's something you've always wanted to do (live in NYC, backpack through Europe, be a bartender part time) that you should do it now before it gets even harder. Oh, and I'd say that if there is ANY part of you that could handle staying in school, that you should delay the "real world" as long as you can (and education is a beautiful thing).
12) What is your all-time favorite song?
My real answer is "When Everything Seems Wrong" by Ari Hest, but there are many that conjure up these all-time favorite feelings, like Carly Simon's "The River" or Sting's "Fields of Gold". It's not the song necessarily, but the memories tied to them.
13) If you weren't in your current occupation, what would you like to do?
This is a no-brainer... I'd be a therapist. So many of my family and friends seek my advice (if I do say so myself) and I love giving it. I also think that I have the ability to see the 30,000 foot view often, which I think would lend itself well toward therapy. Furthermore, though my life has been abundantly full of good things, having experienced many family "traumas" (death of a parent and grandparent, alcoholism, divorce, remarriage, stepsiblings) I think I'd bring a unique perspective to family therapy.
14) Tell me about your family.
Since you're reading this blog you probably already know the answer, but I come from a family with parents who are madly in love, four younger brothers, and a hilarious, awesome extended family. I also have a wonderful husband (sidenote: it's kind of strange that one day he's a "boyfriend" and the next he's family... strange but awesome) and grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. I consider myself very tight with my family, both immediate and extended.
15) What do you "know now" that you wish you "knew then"?
I wish I knew in high school that it wouldn't last forever, and that what - and more importantly, who - I thought was cool in high school would likely be the opposite in less than 10 years. I spent far too much time worrying and not enough time having fun.

"The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck."
Crude Oil is bearish and collapsing off today's high… so the plan is to look for a Spike & Channel with traps and failures above the moving-average for selling-opportunities on Friday.
S&P is bullish with four (4) legs higher today… which always tells me to watch for profit-taking and look for a deep pullback off the highs the highs for the most reliable buying opportunities tomorrow.
Gold is bullish…but we're coming off a 'spike' to finish the session… so the plan is to wait for a '2-legged pullback' off the highs for a possible re-test of yesterday's high.
Euro is bearish and trading inside a range… which tells us to look for traps and failures up at range highs for the most reliable selling-opportunities tomorrow.
FDAX is bullish…but look closely and you can see this is nothing more than the first attempt to break out of this range… so we're waiting for an opportunity to 'fade the breakout' back into the range tomorrow.
Crude Oil Trading Strategy
Crude Oil is bearish after collapsing off today's high with a strong spike lower… telling us to look for a Spike & Channel tomorrow… and more specifically… selling-opportunities using a '2-legged correction' off the lows. Sellers are most likely hunting for yesterday's low, but we will also keep an eye on a measured-move that may develop as well.
E-Mini S&P Trading Strategy
E-Mini S&P is bullish and trading at the high of its range after 4 legs higher today, which tells us this price will likely be considered 'too high' to buy in the short-term… so we're looking for an opportunity to buy a pullback to support levels tomorrow. The most reliable buying opportunities tomorrow will likely come after a '2-legged pullback' off the highs… and the target will be going back to re-test the high…the challenge will be staying patient for that opportunity.
Gold Trading Strategy
Gold is bullish after the sellers walked away this afternoon, but trading at the high of a bull-spike isn't the most reliable place to get long… so the plan is to look for a '2-legged pullback' off these new highs for the opportunity to 'buy low' on the way back up to re-test today's high. One thing to keep in mind for tomorrow is the prior day low… which becomes a big magnet if the buyers fail to hold this pullback… just don't get caught chasing the move lower… wait for 'traps' if the buyers fail.
Euro Trading Strategy
Euro is bearish with a triangle this evening, telling us to look for selling-opportunities up at the highs of the triangle… while avoiding the temptation to chase the move lower. The bears took control shortly after the opening-bell this morning and they got a beautiful opportunity to sell above the moving-average just before lunch… but the lack of follow-through back to re-test the lows is a big concern for the sellers… so we're looking for traps and failures up at resistance levels tomorrow.
FDAX Trading Strategy
FDAX is bullish, but trying to break out through the highs of a range this evening, which tells us to stay patient to see if the bulls can hold this pullback…because if they can't…sellers will be looking to 'fade' this breakout back into the original range tomorrow. Remember…the most challenge part of ranges is staying focused on selling the highs, even when the breakout looks strong… so stay patient and wait for more proof in both directions.

In the wake of taking the cell phone world by Tempest, Xiaomi is attempting to rehash its prosperity where tablets are concerned. We've been all around awed by what the Chinese organization has figured out how to create given the costs it charges, and whatever remains of the business has needed to scramble to match this new focused power. As clients and habitual deal seekers, cool gadgets 2015 have brought only uplifting news this previous year.
Late dispatches haven't had as a lot of an effect as the initial few did. However, that is set to change again with the new Xiaomi Mi Pad. While there are a lot of Android tablets in this value run as of now, the organization is promising top of the line highlights and the sort of value that contenders don't convey. Apple, specifically, emerges as the prime target – not the swarm Android producers offering larger than average telephones.
As far as its general size and measurements, the Mi Pad has a ton in a similar manner as Apple's iPad smaller than expected. There is no confused one for the other, however, as the new tech gadgets is all gleaming plastic. Xiaomi utilizes magnesium compound as a part of the development of the Mi Pad. However, you wouldn't know by taking a gander at it. The shell isn't removable. Thus, the battery is fixed in. There's a microSD card plate on the left side, and the force and volume catches are for the privilege. The 3.5mm headset attachment is on top, and the Micro-USB port is on the base.
Notwithstanding Xiaomi's limited time materials are conspicuously demonstrating the Mi Pad in an assortment of hues. It is also accessible in white in India. Perhaps alternate alternatives will be available later. While the front face is dark, the white back shell wraps around, and a layout is unmistakable when taking a gander at the Mi Pad head-on. The back is polished and to a significant degree smooth, dissimilar to the Redmi 2's matte surface, and we did feel the gadget slip from our hands more than once.
A fascinating line on the Mi Pad's spec sheet is the SoC portrayal. It is one of the main delivery items on the planet that uses Nvidia's Tegra K1 SoC. Nvidia propelled the Tegra K1 with many exhibits in mid-2014 however it just never took off in the way that the organization had trusted. In spite of promising benchmark numbers and apparently unrivaled illustrations execution, telephone and tablet makers just did not dispatch a great deal of Tegra-based items a year ago.
The Mi Pad elements Nvidia's 32-bit Tegra K1 has four centers running at 2.2GHz. It also has a fifth low-power "buddy center" that kicks to let the primary centers go to rest when power should be preserved. The Tegra K1's fundamental request is the way that it influences Nvidia's Kepler-era design structural engineering. Is the equipment secure, as well as backing for amusement motors is likewise brought over from the desktop side of things? The Tegra K1 has 192 representation execution units as is hypothetically keeping pace with today's most exposed essential section level design cards. Apparently power, warmth, and different components mean you can't look at desktop and tablet processors next to each other. It is cool gadgets to buy!

10th year of Kids First in San Miguel
By Antonio De Jesús Aguado
More than 100 children with orthopedic problems will have access to free surgery, thanks to the program Kids First, promoted in the city by Dr. Roberto Maxwell.
This year the team will perform surgeries on hands, feet, toes, arms, knees, fingers and hips. The team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and volunteers of Kids First, all of them from the US, will arrive in San Miguel on May 16 and start working the next day. On May 17 they will screen the children to select those who are candidates for surgery, and from May 19–22 they will perform 20 pediatric orthopedic surgeries daily in the General Hospital from 8am–8pm.
The team comes during their vacation time to volunteer in San Miguel. They pay their airfares, and the local and state governments, along with some nonprofit organizations, provide lodging and food. The volunteer team provides all the necessary material for the surgeries, including medications, materials for casts, pins, orthopedic materials, canes and even presents and candies for the children.
Those children in need of orthopedic surgery should be enrolled for a check-up at the municipal DIF, located at the corner of San Antonio Abad and Insurgentes. It is open Monday through Friday from 8am–3pm. Parents must bring two copies of the child's CURP, medical history, birth certificate and Seguro Popular enrollment—this last is not mandatory.
Kids First is a group of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and volunteers who specialize in orthopedic surgery. The team started working 20 years ago in countries such as Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Brazil with the group Healing the Children. Five years later, Dr. Billy Andrews and Dr. Gregory Menzio decided to form their own nonprofit organization, which became Kids First. Andrews, who heads the group of volunteers, previously told Atención, "We had accumulated most of our own surgical equipment and we had a team that works together very well. We did not want to have someone else tell us where to go, when to go or what to do. We wanted to form our own group that was more able to take care of children at no cost. We have no paid employees; all the money that we raise goes directly to take care of the children."

Wait, now, are we seeing a folding chair that looks cool? That might seem like the wrong word, but look, it's true. Clean lines and a minimal treatment makes this folding chair just right for modernists. Too bad that it'll take several more hundred-dollar bills to get one of these rather than the standard metal chairs, but we're used to that sort of pricing by now (right?).

Prepare yourself, for this chair isn't cheap. It is, however, a lesson on minimalism and autotelia. Not familiar with the term? Join the club. After you read the definition, sit and ponder the "transience and simulation" of the chair, and maybe appreciate the delicate balance between sparsity and strength.

An updated version of the classic bistro chair might just be what your dining room or office needs. Nothing too fancy, of course, but, hey, we all like a room to look a little polished once in a while, you know? Look close and you'll notice a few clever joints to keep the lines minimal. The color options are easy on the eyes as well.

You might sense a resemblance to Hans Wegner's Wishbone Chair in the curved back rail of this chair, and you'd be spot on, as designer Sami Kallio has a high regard for the world renowned Danish designer. Kallio's chair occupies a certain 'in between' place in method of manufacturing as each one is hand and machine made. Ash and oak, the two options, both respond quite well to woodturning, more of classic hand-held lathe technique, and compression molding, a technique that allows for strength despite an overall lightness. The back and side panels provide support as well as a nicely contrasting visual gap.

So, how big a fan are you of Donald Judd, on a scale of 1 to 10? If you answered 7 or above, you might just like a reminder that Artware Editions is selling Judd's chairs, $1,800+. I'm thrilled, though I might have to save up, as collecting some of the "most recognizable and significant artist-designed furniture in existence" isn't cheap*. And, for fun, take this test: Donald Judd, or Cheap Furniture?

You might as well succumb to the bad habit of shedding clothing onto furniture. It just takes so much extra effort to put them away. Imagine that last sentence said in a whiney voice, and know that I admit to a little laziness now and then. So, go ahead and buy the Sacrificial Chair by Thing Industries why don't you, and see the pile of barely-used and needs-to-be-cleaned clothes pile on up into a spectacular mess of colors and textures. You could even call it an objet d'art if you want to sound pretentious.

Do you see a little Eames influence in this side chair? Maybe it's the wood dowel legs, or maybe it's the molded plastic seat and back. In any case, the expanding crosshatch pattern places it firmly in today's world rather than amongst the mid century modern classics. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at the price tag: $250. Not too bad for a stylish side or desk chair, right?

This Studio Chair ships flat-packed and is easily assembled, but you won't find it at your local IKEA. Designed by Jason Whiteley, the chair is simple and precise, and refers to a type of common, robust chair originating in Switzerland. And, unlike some of the results from that aforementioned big box store, this chair is structurally sound and will withstand all manner of use, contract included. Easily assembly also means quick disassembly should you wish to pack it away in storage when not in use.

This is a different sort of shell chair, made of multiple 4mm wire rods lined up for a symmetrical seat. It reminds one of Bend's Seating collection, does it not? The ergonomic wire seat connects with a circular rim, giving the chair its lightweight appearance and minimal feel. As it's made from painted aluminum, you may use the Shelltwo Chair indoors or outside. There's a Counter Stool as well, fyi.

You know how you're able to tell you're a grown-up? It's not setting up a retirement account, or doing your taxes, though those things are important. It's actually having a decent place to sit down in your home. As in, a comfortable seat that you've picked out (or paid someone to pick out for you) and would guide a guest towards when they visit. You can't be embarrassed of it and it has to be nicer than what a 21 year old would buy from IKEA. Sorry IKEA and 21 year olds, but those are the rules.

Nope, it's not the ubiquitous shell chair you think it is. This one is made of humble concrete and steel. Talk about an industrial edge- you can't get much more industrial than ribar steel and plain ol' concrete. It would be an interesting mix to have a set of these chairs around your dining table, don't you think?

Take the silhouette of an antique Chinese Horseshoe chair, remove extraneous details, simplify curves and joints, and what remains? An entirely elegant seating option from Morelesss, made from black walnut (imported from renewable North American forests) with a finish of natural varnish. The armless version, Fall Dining Chair, would make a nice companion piece if you have plans to update your dining room set.

Kyle Lee Crossett
PhD Student
I am a PhD student in Heritage Studies at the UCL Institute of Archaeology. My research investigates what archives find difficult to include in their collections. By studying how people make decisions on the edge of inclusion, I hope to explore how difference, belonging, and accountability work in archives and collections. Who and what will be included in the archives of the future? My research interests include queer heritage, postcolonial archive studies, community archaeology, public parks, and science fiction literature. I received my MA in Public Archaeology from UCL and have a BA with honours in Archaeology and English Literature from Stanford University in California. I have previously worked in research and archaeological fieldwork positions with the Çatalhöyük Research Project in Turkey, the Presidio San Francisco National Park and Historic District, and Stanford University.
Collecting Change/Changing Collections
Heritage Futures PhD researcher Kyle Lee-Crossett will be hosting a day-long workshop together with archive and museum professionals from a wide range of disciplines to reflect on and discuss the goals and challenges of contemporary collecting, particularly in regards to representing diverse communities and environments in London and beyond.
Date: 27/07/18
Location: UCL Institute of Advanced Studies
Where are all the people? How images of shelving reveal deeper problems in the way we think about archives
Afterlives Salon
This salon to accompany the current Octagon exhibition Cabinets of Consequence will explore how heritage and other related forms of conservation practices (including nuclear waste management) make futures. How do we use material culture to stitch futures from pasts? What do we conserve? What do we get rid of? What do we allow to change? This Salon will be staged as a series of conversations across various themes currently being explored within the Heritage Futures research programme,Event held at Haldane Room, Wilkins Building , Gower Street WC1

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida State track and field team travel across town this weekend to compete in the 53rd annual FAMU Relays. The two-day tournament starts Friday morning at 11:00 am with the men and women's javelin throw competition. The tournament will wrap-up on Saturday with a full schedule of events beginning at 7:30 am with the women's 3000m run and finishing with the 4x400m Relay.
The Seminoles will hope for some clear skies this weekend as they look to fend off the rainy conditions that have stormed through the Tallahassee area the last couple of days. Heavy rain and severe lightening put a damper on the Tribe's home opener last weekend, cutting the meet short after completing only 16 of the 39 scheduled events.
The final indoor track and field meet before the NCAA Championships will take place this weekend in Baton Rouge as three Seminoles will travel to LSU for the NCAA Last Chance Meet. Sophomore Lacy Janson will look to improve on her mark of 14′ 0″ (4.27m), which set an ACC Indoor Championship record at this years ACC Championship meet. Her vault of 14'0″ tied her career best mark and broke the FSU indoor record previously held by Janson at 13′ 9″.
Senior Kim Jones will hope to receive an NCAA automatic qualifying bid in the long jump competition in Baton Rouge, La. this weekend. Her longest jump of the season came in Gainesville at the Gator Invitational when Jones compiled a third place finish at 20′ 2.25″ (6.15m).
Junior Dorian Scott will look to improve on his provisional qualifying mark in the men's shot put competition that he set earlier this season at the Gator Invitational. Scott won the event with a throw of 61′ 10.25″ (18.85m). That throw currently ranks second on the team in the shot put and 12th nationally.
The Seminole outdoor track and field team will return home next weekend, when they host the Snowbird Invitational at Mike Long Track. The indoor season will conclude on March 14-15 at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
For complete results of the Florida State track and field team this weekend stay tuned to www.seminoles.com, the official athletic website of the Florida State Seminoles
